Has anyone had these chest pain symptoms before?

Question

For the last two weeks I feel like I have had pressure on my heart. Sometimes the pain goes to my left shoulder, then down to the hand. My arm aches a lot of the time. The doctor has checked my heart with a stethescope and said it's not beating irregularly. Has anyone else experienced this, if so, what was it? Thank you

Answer 1

What you have stated appears very strange. I feel you have not gone to a expert doctor. From the symptoms told by you, it appears you had a heart attack. Checking with a stethoscope will not reveal anything. You should contact a cardiologist and have a ECG done up to find the actual position. Please do not neglect and take immediate action. The main symptoms of heart attack are -

the symptoms of a heart attack or are in denial that they are having one. Symptoms are:

-Uncomfortable pressure, fullness, squeezing, or pain in the center of the chest. This lasts more than a few minutes, or may go away and return.

-Pain that spreads to the shoulders, neck, or arms.

-Chest discomfort accompanied by light headedness, fainting, sweating, nausea, or shortness of breath.

Your narration covers some of these symptoms.-

Answer 2

Please go and see a different doctor. If you are having pain around or near your heart there could be many issues at hand. Listening to a heart with a stethoscope is senseless. You can have a regular heart beat but have some serious heart problems developing or some other conditions such as edema (fluid) around the heart, in the lungs pressing on the ribs near the heart, or an infection in the lining of the lungs, an infection on the lining of the heart and so on.

You need an EKG, blood work, possibly a 2D or 3D echo done, and even possibly a stress test.

Go to a different doctor.

Please!!!!

if all your doc did was listen to your heart then you need a new doc. he's an idiot. you need to have blood tests done and an EKG. listening to your heart will only tell you it's beating, not whether you've had an attack of some kind. it's nearly impossible to have a heart attack in your teens to early twenties but it can happen on an outside chance. but do you really wanna bet your health on the fact that the doc knows that your heart is definitely still beating and that's it? that is unless he has some kind of magical ears that tell him the conductivity of your heart is ok based on the fact that you actually do have a heartbeat.

At the age of 35, I started having 'what I thought' were gastrointestinal issues. Then the pain progressed to my chest, jaw and arm. My fiance rushed me to the ER and I was having a FULL BLOWN heart attack!!!!!!! 100% blockage! I received an angioplasty and a stent! Everyone in the ER was in shock to see a 35/F, not over weight having an MI! GET A SECOND, THIRD OR FORTH OPINION!!!!!!!!!!

Answer 5

If I were you, I'd be heading for the nearest doctor or maybe even Emergency Room. Chest pain (even at 19y.o) is nothing to scoff at. Maybe you have injured your shoulder, or maybe it is something in your lung. But I think you should get yourself into the Dr office and see what they tell you. Especially if you are worried that you might be dying. and for goodness sake, please don't wait another 4 days for other people to answer this question!! go to the dr. Today.

Answer 6

find another doctor!! get an EKG done.

I had a day a few weeks ago when I felt like pure he**! really didn't want to move. tightness in back muscles, weakness in arms and hands, a bad headache and dizziness (but dizz is usual for me).

Dr did EKG 2 days ago and informed me that I had had a heart attack, when was it? I am guessing it was the day I felt so bad.

So now he is sending me to cardiologist shop for stress testing and another EKG and I don't know what all.

go find another doctor who will listen to you!!

Symptons of heart disease! few minutes to see the heart arterries' image with GE ultrasound device like Voluson, Logiq.. at a cardiology office, blood test, optional EKG. Good luck.
